Beet, Orange and Arugula Salad image

The oranges in this sweet and pungent salad will look like blood oranges after they sit for a little while with the beets. This makes a pretty Christmas salad. Try to find the wispy wild arugula, which is more pungent than regular arugula.

ORANGE, ROASTED BEET, AND ARUGULA SALAD



Orange, Roasted Beet, and Arugula Salad image

Dress up an arugula salad with colorful oranges and beets, using this simple recipe from "Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast."

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large beet
2 navel oranges
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 bunches arugula, washed well and dried
5 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wrap beet tightly in parchment paper-lined aluminum foil; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 45 to 50 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub off skins, using paper towels to keep your hands from staining. Cut into wedges.
  • Meanwhile, prepare oranges; Slice off both ends of each with a paring knife. Cut away the peel and white pith, following the curve of the fruit. Holding the fruit over a bowl, cut along membranes to release whole segments. Squeeze juice from membranes into another bowl, and add any accumulated juice from the segments.
  • Add oil, vinegar, and mustard to orange juice; season with salt and pepper, and whisk to combine. Add arugula, and toss to coat with dressing. Divide arugula among four plates. Top with beet wedges, orange segments, and goat cheese. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy blood oranges. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color.
  • If you can't find blood oranges, you can use regular oranges. Just be sure to use a variety that is sweet and juicy, such as navel oranges or Valencia oranges.
  • Arugula is a delicate green that can easily wilt. To keep it fresh, store it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
  • Blue cheese can be strong-flavored, so use it sparingly. A little bit goes a long way.
  • If you don't like blue cheese, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese.
  • This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The arugula will start to wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Arugula, blood orange, and blue cheese salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy salad, give this one a try.
